Spanish Fly Shark Tournament 2024
As we approach the 12-year mark since we lost the legendary Jose, we're finally gearing up for our first tournament. Now, folks have been asking why we haven't jumped into the tournament scene sooner and why a shark tournament, of all things.

Wyatt Family Fishing Dream Comes True
“The Jose Wejebe Memorial Foundation has been such a blessing to our family. After Bode was diagnosed with Leukemia in April 2022, life has been topsy turvy to say the least ... When Krissy reached out and offered us this trip, it was met with excitement, relief, and nervousness. The fear of planning something more than a day in advance is real, but Krissy assured us that we would have an amazing time and she would be able to work around our needs.”
VanKleek Family Fishing Dream Comes True
In January of 2023, Virgil VanKleek was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a form of childhood cancer, at only 14 months old. “Our family was crippled last year. Wounded very badly by cancer and the myriad of complications associated with its punches. Despite a tremendous victory in Virgil ringing his end of treatment bell, declaring he struck back and defeated cancer, our family had not healed,” his mother Amanda shared.
Robert Avery
Our family bonded on this trip. My kids talked about how much fun they had, and my wife and I got closer. She teared up after the trip and said we are in a good space right now, and it feels great. It was heartwarming. To the sponsors of the Jose Wejebe Foundation, Thank you as well. Your donations could save a Veteran’s Life. Being out on that water fishing was so therapeutic.
Pink Ladies Fishing Dream Comes True
This summer we hosted our second women’s only trip with the Pink Ladies Fishing Team. Carolyn, (undergoing treatment for breast cancer), along with her friends Tonya and Gina drove down from Pompano Beach. Aside from a great time on the water with these ladies we made a genuine connection which I believe will grow and benefit the foundations future.
Paola
Paola was enlisted in the Army with four deployments over her career from 2002-2015 to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Jose Agurto
Jose was so pumped for this trip from the moment I called him. “Thank you so much for doing this for me and my family!”
